This is just like when I played Diddy Kong Racing for like 30 hours and then got TT. Except now I can pay for a chance to get TT earlier?

I played the game for like an hour a little while back. I had never played this new DOOM before, and it felt like I was just playing a super arcade-y explode everything-a-thon in my hands. It wasn’t, like, unpleasurable to play in any way.

I kind of wonder if Nintendo has tried weighing the cost-effectiveness of localizing Mother 3 in relation to man-hours spent discussing it to the media.

...FUZION FRENZY! Yeee....s! ...?

“In its current form, it was shaping up to be a story-based, linear adventure game. Throughout the development process, we have been testing the game concept with players, listening to the feedback about what and how they want to play, and closely tracking fundamental shifts in the marketplace.

...until the three book collection edition comes out, in a special, gold embossed carrying case. I know how these publishers do.

Can they at least update their grating, mind-sizzling, and confoundingly antiquated hold music?

Congrats Jason - very hard earned.

There’s something so incredibly fragile about the consistent backlash to citing difficulty as a hindrance.

Ask for a raise!

Beautiful piece Cecilia. I still cant get over the fact that kids I played with growing up are now, like, people of interest. And their actions now cast a much larger shadow.

I only have one negative thing to say about Splatoon 2 so far, besides the weird online communication stuff.
